You pointed out that SmPL disjunctions can trigger specific consequences according to functionality which is different from SmPL constraints. Both application areas support data processing for function name lists to some degree. Each element of a SmPL disjunction refers to a fragment of a detailed source code search pattern. We are discussing use cases where a search pattern is occasionally restricted in the way that only identifiers should be found at a specific place. * Does this detail provide the opportunity to improve the corresponding software any more? * Can a feature request like “Working with variables for case match identification by SmPL disjunctions” become more interesting? https://github.com/coccinelle/coccinelle/issues/159 Regards, Markus _______________________________________________ Cocci mailing list Cocci@systeme.lip6.fr https://systeme.lip6.fr/mailman/listinfo/cocci
